apricot chicken delight

The first half of this semester was hard. Weird schedule, lots of new pressures and responsibilities, and a lack of energy.

Unfortunately lack of energy is a vicious cycle–no energy to cook good stuff = eating out; eating out = not always eating the best foods; not eating healthy = no energy.

So, during the midterm week, when I wasn't grading tests or catching up on laundry. I searched for some recipes to turn into the 30 meals project that
Carrie, my RA in college (well, and my college roommate's sister-in-law) told me about on this post. (BTW, thanks Carrie!!)

My requirements were that the recipes:

could be made in less than 20 min,

needed to be low-carbish,

needed to delight mine and my husband's taste buds, and

could be made with things easily found in Taiwan.

Finding meals that meet all four requirements was no small task!

Although Lawrance is generally easy going and not too picky about food, finding things we both love to eat often has proved to be a challenge.

Amanda! Yum!!! I’m bookmarking this post for reference. . . . totally needed that!
As for my ornaments, yes, Joey and Paul were miscarriages we had before Hannah was born. It’s hard to believe that had my 1st pregnancy been successful, I’d have an 8 year old! Regardless, had they been successful, I wouldn’t have my babies, so I know that my life is blessed.
I’m on a mission to find that ornament! LOL
Can’t wait to read about your Christmas together.

welcome!

Hi! We are Lawrance and Amanda Wu.

We live in Taiwan--a little tea leaf shaped island in Asia. Amanda is from Texas and Lawrance from Tainan. We met, fell in love and married in 2008. We both teach English and both love to tell others about Jesus. We also both really enjoy to laugh, and we just happen to both enjoy "ching cha," a type of fabulous green tea.
